Scott1x Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I DO try to stay with the latest release and it is not always clear just what that is. If the MD5 hash of the latest release were included on the download page, it would make determination much easier and insure a good download.

RomanZ Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 @Scott1xLatest build available for public is published on the download page. Usually, me or someone from moderators also post it on the forum. The MD5 won't help you to determine if the build is the latest, just to control the integrity of delivered build and the fact that build you has is the same we have.

Scott1x Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 It does help when I download the latest and compare it to the last one I downloaded. If I don't need to update all of my machines, I don't want to, but I don't check the forum all that often and it WOULD insure the integrity of the download as well. I'd consider this a good thing. It is not that hard to calculate the MD5 and post it on the download page next to the downloadl link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 @Scott1xActually, makes sense at least for Linux builds as they are not signed. We'll consider to change the download website in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott1x Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Thank you sir. When say signed, are you refering to the fingerprint? How do I validate the fingerprint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 @Scott1xFor Windows its rather simple. Open file properties, digital signatures tab, details - and Windows will verify the digital signature of binary. It's a bit more complex for mac: you'll need to unpack the BitTorrent Sync.app bundle the file from .dmg package and then run command:coding -dvvv <path_to_app_bundle>Also, AFAIK Mac won't allow to run unsigned bundle (or bundle with broken signature). See screenshots below for both OSes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
